How many PS5 consoles have been oversubscribed may surprise you, given how tough IT's been to find unmatched ever since the system came out in November 2020.

While it seems like half the humankind is even searching for a PS5 restock, Sony has confirmed how many PS5 systems it sold as of the end of its latest fiscal poop:10.1 million systems as of the end of June 2021.

Sony's financial figures reveal that the flow of how many PS5s were oversubscribed has slowed finished time: it reported 4.5 jillio sales in the third quarter of its fiscal year 2020 (the quarter which included the system's initial release in November), then dropping to 3.3 in the ordinal quarter of that class and 2.2 in the first quarter of its 2021 financial year.

From what Sony has told us in the past, we can safely put on this is not due to shrunken consumer demand for PS5, but instead because of supply constraints. Sony's manufacturers had time to put together a king-size first wave of consoles before it staring up sales for PS5 in November, and e'er since, it's been struggling to keep up with demand. Thankfully, Sony has secured a parvenu source for the semiconductors it of necessity to manufacture PS5 systems, which should help it speed up product.

Ultimately, Sony aims to deal many than 14.8 million PS5s in its flow fiscal twelvemonth set to end on March 31, 2022 - that's just this fiscal year, not counting the gross sales from the launch window, and information technology's the unvaried routine of PS4 consoles Sony sold in the same time frame for that console.
